Larry Daniel Eugene Kaufman

Thank you Daniel for your love and your laughter. My grandchildren and I miss you very much!It did not matter what mood you were in you would always set your woes aside and really listen or just sit quietly with someone who's day seemed a little worse. I was unable to work Faire this year but I was able to visit a few times and I could feel your spirit everywhere.You have touched so many lives and we are the richer for it.Your life is a shinning example of the love that is possible in all of us.

Daniel,
Your smile was contagious. Your laughter filled the room. Your jokes were so silly! A hummingbird on 5 shots of Espresso couldn't match the energy you had. I loved your creativity & openness. I admired you in so many ways. I loved your spirit; you were such an unbelievably beautiful person. I can still feel the love & positive energy you have & I know it will always be there. Thank you for being you & loving others with every fiber of your being. I know that you're still here, there & everywhere, whenever anybody asks and I love you for that. I love your beautiful soul Daniel & I always will.

Daniel and I as others did we spent time smoking, talking, and laughing at fair in the same group, I wish I had spent time getting to know him out side fair, LOVE ALWAYS

Daniel and I worked together at Barnes and Noble and were friends outside of work. His stories, his smile, his laugh and his giving nature always put me in a good mood. He made me love Family guy and Lord of the Rings. We would have dance parties at work and I remember him joking with me that I actually had rhythm for a white girl. Lol. He had the best laugh. It was contagious. I hadn't seen him in 10 years since I left CA but it breaks my heart that I will never have the chance to see him again. He was one of a kind.

Daniel gave the best hugs. He was able to train anyone to welcome a hug. I am so glad I got to meet him and be a hug trainee. I will always remember him when I hug someone.

I got to know Daniel very well over three years ago. I would arrive to work, at IRC, early every morning, and would sit with him, share stories, and smoke before I went to my office. I also got to know Ryan very well, as I would see and talk to him when he was dropping Daniel off at work. The morning of the shooting, I did not sit and talk with Daniel and Ryan, I told them I had a lot of reports to work on, but I would see him at 11am for lunch. At 10:55am, I was heading down to meet Daniel, when for some reason, I decided to turn in a report before going down stairs. Within about 3 minutes, the alarms went off, and all hell broke loose. It wasn't until I was escorted with my coworkers out of the building and across the street to the golf course, that I realized I was never going to see my friend again. I miss Daniel so much. Going to work everyday is not the same. I was not meant to be downstairs that day for some reason, I wish Daniel wasn't there. I'm very grateful that I have Ryan in my life. Every time I see him, I see Daniel. Daniel loved Ryan so much. I miss you every day my friend, but I know you are watching over me. Thank you for all the conversations, sharing your stories and pictures, and just being my friend. Love you ♡

David and I remember our times with Daniel fondly and his light is greatly missed. Daniel used to work at Waldenbooks with David and Jonathan and how I met him. Daniel had a great laugh and sharp wit to match. Daniel was fun, wild, strange and wonderful all wrapped up in a electric personality! We miss him terribly and our prayers are with Ryan and Daniel's family.

Daniel was one of the truly rare people who personified joy and boundless love in his everyday life. No matter your mood, when you walked away from an interaction with him your outlook was brighter.He was genuine. He gave ligjht, love and joy unstintingly. As long as anyone who received any of those gifts from him is better, or remembers him with fondness his light will continue to shine and grow. I, for one, will strive to pass on the happiness his friendship gave me. I am a better person having had his friendship. Thank you Daniel for giving me your friendship and for being who you were.

You are loved, and missed, amazing person! Judith Hugswell, St. Cuthberts.

The Goddess graciously receives to her bosom all those who pass from this existence regardless of faith or belief. She holds, however, a special place for those who travel this life as a journey. Daniel will surely hold this favor.

May the Goddess receive you with charity.
May the Goddess sanctify your spirit.
May the Goddess purify your soul.
May the Goddess recite your name on the whispers of the wind.
We will miss you.

Love you so much Daniel and everything you have done! You're amazing and I will hold you close to my heart and your necklace
Thank you so much
I love you!

My sincerest condolences to the family. I used to live in San Bernardino and even Rialto and it is just shocking to me what happened there. My heart goes out to you and I pray that you find comfort from the God of all comfort who cares for you especially during this grievous time. 1 Peter 5:6,7

My sincere sympathy to all who are hurting from Daniel's death. The world was a better place with him here.

Please accept my Deepest Sympathies
